Preparing for spring: Monty at Longmeadow

Monty talks about how "necessary" winter is for both himself and the garden, providing as it does "a fallow period". He identifies the two different halves of the season: the run up to Christmas ("my least favourite time of the year") and the New Year onwards, when the garden becomes "a new world...filled with hope".

Ahead of the new series of Gardeners' World, Friday 20 March 2020 on BBC Two, enjoy this lovely film of Monty, Nigel and Nell at Longmeadow.
